Hickory Nuts Harvested On Hands And Knees

October 20, 2000|The Morning Call

Steven Horvath, who will turn 86 next week, takes a break from raking leaves at his Steel City, Northampton County, home to check on the hickory nuts curing in his garage. 'I got down on my hands and knees to pick these hickory nuts,' he said, pointing to a hole worn in the knee of his trousers. The nuts come from a friend's farm in Pleasant Valley.
